Prêt a Manger

Great value for money!And excellent customer care!

great value compared to other food places here as its high street prices. good coffee and fab croissants

Living in Swansea I hadn't tried a Pret A Manger until flying from Gatwick recently but will definitely be keeping an eye out for ones whenever I'm travelling around now.
We had a super fruit pot, sandwiches and delicious chocolate brownie for lunch and found them all of the food very tasty and the sandwiches generously filled and very fresh, I had a falafel and humous one which was delicious and filling.
I understand they prepare everything in store, or very local, without any artificial additives, preservatives etc and sell without a sell by date on their sandwiches and salads giving any leftovers to charity.
Prices seemed very reasonable and as dmj1962 says a great place to stock up with food for budget flights rather than paying over the odds on board for a much poorer quality sandwich.
We didn't try their coffee but will have to next time.

The refurbishment and extension of the passenger lounge at Gatwick’s South terminal has made room for some new eateries, including a Pret a Manger.

This is a huge step forward in terms of the availability of decent coffee and - even more so - decent , fresh and interesting sandwiches. Service is swift and nicely done, although there did seem to be a bit of a queue for those waiting for coffee. There’s lots of seating, it’s all on the level, and the toilets are around the corner (down a long corridor, however).

Prices are the same as in most High Street branches, which actually makes them rather competitive in an airport. It’s an excellent place to load up with your in-flight food before getting on a budget airline flight, but you can also eat in, as well. (The two-tier pricing system for eat-in/take away also applies here, with eat-in food costing more).
